Abstract (en)
[origin: WO0072695A1] The invention relates to a method and to a device for producing seed crystal suspension that are based on melted fat, especially for producing stable, microdisperse cocoa butter crystal suspensions that have a high beta VI modification share. The invention further relates to the use of said suspensions in the seed crystallization of fat-based suspensions that contain disperse solid particles such as chocolates and chocolate-like masses or the like where the melts are seeded with the crystal seed suspension. The inventive method facilitates an improved dosability vis-à-vis seeding methods that use crystal powders since it is easier to dose liquids. The inventive mechanic/thermal shearing/extensional flow treatment of the seed crystal suspensions allows the production of substantially smaller seed crystals than according to conventional powder-based seed crystallization methods and thus an improved microhomogeneous mixture and higher seeding efficiency (reduced seed crystal share to obtain an optimum pre-crystallization) as well as an increased share of the highly stable beta VI crystal modification.
